Thread: Kimber handguns...anyone own one?

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to learn as much as I can before making a purchase.

I looked at the same thing not long ago and ended up with a H&K 45c. I didn't really test out the DA trigger on it, but the single action trigger is light and smooth. Shoots very well. I still want a 1911 sometime, just not sure when or what I will end up getting. My next gun purchase is either a new hunting shotgun or an assault rifle.

You'll find a boatload of 1911 info here: http://forums.1911forum.com/ Scroll down to the Kimber forum.

I have the Kimber Eclipse and absolutely love it. I also own quite a few Glocks and love them also. That being said, IMHO, you will be hard pressed to find a better STOCK 1911 than a Kimber for the price you pay. Almost all of the Kimber's do the upgrades that are usually done to a 1911 in their standard package.

Shot a Kimber Polymer (the wide body) for years in IPSC, absolutely loved it. Would buy one of their single stack models in a heartbeat if I had the $$$.

I Kimber custom II and I love it, I added crimson trace grips and use wilson combat clips in it, great combo it s a tackdriver
